This needs a reboot ... war war war is all it is .... wars mainly fought by made up countries styling themselves as Israel Iran America et al ... regimes with losers who could not manage a turd in a corner ruining the entire world .... and the news promotes it ... yes have had enough of this cr@p ...
Anything reality.
Cooking where it's a competition.
Cooking with any of the Allen family.
Anything with Baz what's his name.
Or with that guy who does up houses ( too tired to google😜).
Maybe not fair to be commenting...I don't watch tv🥴😁
The houses guy is Dermot Bannon ...
An all-stars edition of Loveland??? Really? Have they run out of applicants are something?
Cooking competition shows are such a load of BS…. Cooking shows where it’s instructional and a qualified and experienced chef shows you step by step how to make X dish, grand, usually you can reference the steps and ingredients online but just watching D list celebrities cook…why ? . Some failing TV presenter head who once presented ‘strictly come in your mouth’ vs some ex pro footballer… but they are both very enthusiastic and laugh a lot, especially if it’s Ian Wright, who is on everything now.
They're still shite though.
The idea that people would actually try to cook the recipies they saw on TV went out with Delia.
They moved on to flogging "books of the series" with the recipes, but people bought them and didn't cook them either (as if you could get half the ingredients anyway)
It's just food porn really.
Celebrity Baking on Ice while Dancing with the Stars doing a Pottery Throwdown in a Minature House for an all singing Sewing Bee.
Utter sheeite.
Don't you diss throwdown and sewing bee. They are not anywhere close to those other shows.
University Challenge.
It was great for a long time as a kind of self-parody of the "intellectual classes" and people competing to know absurdly arcane knowledge, that goes on at universities and beyond, that I have to believe must have become a least a little bit self-aware at some point surely.
Jeremy Paxman worked because of his accent and his posture and everything about him. The queen's english high faluting talk, a stick so far up his ass. It was hilarious. god help me for saying this but Kevin Myers also produced the proper effect, in possibly the only job that man could ever do right.
Now in keeping with the times they've gone woke. Here's the new presenter, and it just doesn't work anymore as a package, for me anyway. It's not funny anymore.
Finished Fear the walking dead this year. The original series last year. Will probably not be tuning in for any of the three (!?!) spin off series that are in production.
Mastermind has gone to hell since the chosen specialist subject was dumbed down.
Much better when the subjects were the likes of The Duke of Buckingham 1592 to 1628 than now when it's Only Fools and Horses.
stick a pony in me pocket! i'll fetch the suitcase from the van! cuz if you want the best ones, but you don't ask questions, then BROTHER! I'M YOUR MAN!! cuz where it all comes from is a mystery, like changing of the seasons and the tides of the sea.
But here's the one that's driving me berserk, how do only fools and horses work?
Not really a show as such but Lottie Ryan and her showbiz news.
Only there in the first place because of her her father was.
Right. Knowing things by itself obviously does not make you intelligent or informed. It just means you have a good memory and have spent time on that subject. Mastermind and Eggheads etc., always imply more than just a good memory but a very high intelligence.
Knowing things that are relevant in society and common interest is a sign of intelligence and awareness of the world sure, not just any old thing. You could argue that knowing some things show more a LACK of intelligence and awareness of the world because that's what you have been occupying your time with. The intelligent and informed of society would generally fail a test on some tiktok etc. terminology I'm sure. Much as I love them, Only Fools and Horses/Father Ted specialist Mastermind subjects is really just taking the piss. Those are shows we try to AVOID rewatching surely.
yes, but why? only fools horses has alot of funny moments and both of those shows you've mentioned have become cultural icons in their respective countries. Comedy does't have to be intelligent, it just has to be funny. No Awareness of societies problems is needed. Comedy is meant to be an escape from all that.
I'd read somewhere that they'd banned a few topics like Fawlty Towers or Only Fools because they became over used.
